Who is an optometrist and what does he or she do?

Why do eyeglasses cost so much?
Eyeglasses are a complex optical device that is manufactured with high-precision equipment. Often expensive materials are used for the glasses. All of this explains why eyeglasses can be expensive.
What should you do before buying glasses?
Let's look at what to look for when buying eyeglasses. The first is, of course, quality. The second is the choice of lenses of glasses. Here we focus attention on the material: they can be either glass or plastic. The third is the choice of frames.
What's the difference between expensive glasses and cheap glasses for vision?
The quality and accordingly the price of the lens depends on the presence of coatings on the lenses. The higher the price, the more coatings on the lens. Coatings make our vision more comfortable. Lens manufacturers do not stand still and improve the quality of lenses.
How do I know which glasses fit my face?
It's best if the width of the frame is equal to or slightly larger than the widest part of your face. The upper line of the frames should coincide with the line of eyebrows. Smooth shapes of glasses will emphasize rounded curves of the face. To emphasize high cheekbones choose the "butterfly" or "cat-eye" glasses.
Where can I see better with glasses or contact lenses?
With lenses, you can see better, so it turns out that extra obstacles don't distort the image. Lenses don't shed dust, don't catch glare from the sun and don't distort peripheral vision-no matter where we look, the image stays sharp.

Bekah James | Rating: 5 | Dr. Andrew S. Miller, O.D.
I adore Dr. Miller and his friendly staff. I have been a patient since I was 14 years old (and I'm turning 40 this year!). I once got a contact stuck on my eye on a Sunday afternoon. I called Dr. Miller in a panic and he met me at his office, free of charge, to get it off for me. He laughed right along with me and I will never forget his kindness in the midst of my freak out. I recently moved from the area, but am toying with the notion of returning to Virginia Beach every 2 years to have him continue my eye care. I would recommend Dr. Miller to anyone in the market for an eye doctor.

I didn't see the doctor, but I would like to offer a compliment to the Customer Rep who helped me with purchasing my frames. Her name is Taylor, and she was professional, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and she had excellent customer service skills. You should hire more people like Taylor! Thank-you Taylor!
Marlon Peavy | Rating: 4 | Coastal Vision - Redmill
I have been attending this office for over 10 yrs now. The doctors have always been very professional and the staff has been outstanding. For the first time this last visit I experience a strange situation while waiting to be fitted for some new glasses. While waiting looking for new glasses and waiting for the 2 ladies that were assisting other customers with purchasing new glasses as one was finishing up with her customer another customer came in as a walk in and without any courtesy or respect to the other customers that may have been waiting right away provided her glasses and wanted them readjusted along with a new glasses case for her expensive Gucci frames that her dog had chewed up her old case. I had a problem with the Coastal team assisting the customer order of service to already waiting customers. First time I ever experienced this so I just let the front desk know that I would come back and look for glasses at a later date. Hopefully some proper protocol of customer service can be put in place for all customers will know how to follow accordingly. Thank you.
Jennifer S | Rating: 5 | Leverett Eyecare, P.C.
I absolutely love Dr. Marcia Leverett! I initially went into the office in 2018 looking for somewhere to get my eye exam as I moved here from California. I moved back to California and still come to see her for my exams when I visit. She's great. The staff is also so friendly and helpful. The wait is never too long, there are many frames to pick from and don't worry about being indecisive they all help you out with your choice if you may need it! :) Overall I have had very pleasant experiences. My only regret is not finding her sooner!
